The first live Ozrics disc since LIVE UNDERSLUNKY, SPICE DOUBT is mostly culled from the band's later '90s catalog, cobbling liberally from ARBORESCENCE and BECOME THE OTHER, with a track or two from STRANGEITUDE and some new surprises.
Get past the kooky, highly collectible packaging (the jewel box is encased in a spongy plastic cover containing green goo in which prehistoric fish float) and immerse your aural canals in an hour of real-time starship rock.
"Cat DNA" emerges off the top, the band extending the original take with a swampy introduction before hurtling off into the cosmos.
"Sploosh!" is everybody's favorite quicksand jam-its sequencers boiling to the undertow of a motorik beat.
The remaining agenda lavishes the band's trademark humoresque touches, frenzied drumming, and sounds wrenched from a parallel universe.
A splendid time is guaranteed for all, but it is a limited pressing.
Snatch one while you still can.
